  3. 1-The guy understood: Do you want the cancer? instead of Do you want the can, Sir?
    3- Would you like the super salad? instead of Would you like soup or salad?
    Have you ever sin in church? instead of Have you ever sing in church?

  4. Maxi,
    Well done!*****
    I would say: Do you sin at church? Do you sing at church? . because when you ask Have you ever ....you should say Have you ever sung at church? and there´s no misunderstanding, then.

  5. 1-I think that he understood if he wanted to a cancer instead of a can Sir.
    3-Examples:
    a-Please, don´t lighter your mother. Instead of please, don´t lie to your mother.
    b-What is the waiter go? Instead of what is the way to go?
    c-Do you think that i dont have to know how old is she? Because Alaska. Instead of do you think that i dont have to know how old is she? Because I´ll ask her.

    1. Trinidad,
      Good job!but....*****
      ..if he wanted A...
      What´s the meaning of "lighter"?
      what is the waiter to go? (no meaning)
      I understand we assume people misunderstand the message but the first sentence doesn´t make any sense.
      ...I (capital letter)....how old she is...
      Same thing here...Because Alaska doesn´t make any sense.

  6. The guy understood do you want the cancer?
    but the girl said: do you want the can, Sir?

    Example:
    Gimme a kiss please
    Gimme a keys please

    1- What did the guy understand?
    That guy understood "Do you want a cancer?". But the woman said correctly "Do you want a can, sir?"

    3- Could you think of any other examples?
